This is God's word for you to take careful notice, because this is God's judgment against all those who rebel against God, and this includes those who teach atheistic evolution: "And with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. For this reason, God will send them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie, in order that judgment will come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness" (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12). I know that you will not accept this, because you are caught up in the powerful evolution deception that God has sent those who refuse to believe what God has plainly said in His Word.

Evolution is a religious cult, just like any other non-Christian cult. It is nowhere near a science. Because atheistic evolutionists resist the Holy Spirit, God has deliberately sent them the delusion, so that they will not see the glorious gospel of Christ and will perish in their sin and rebellion against Him.

Well, if you think tongues is the lowest gift, then don't ask for it, but don't block others through false Cessationist teaching otherwise you might find yourself contending with the Holy Spirit.

The thing is that evolution is a religion not a science.

I am saying that what he went through, as he described in 2 Corinthians 11, was his thorn in the flesh. This was the message from Satan.

I would believe that Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse are real live characters before I would believe in the evolution fairy story. In fact. Superman and Batman are more logical as real people than what evolutionists are presenting as scientific "fact".

Theistic evolution is atheistic evolution implanted into Genesis. There is no difference between the two. Jesus never believed in it, because He was the one who created the universe according to the Father's design, so He was there when He created it. Therefore He is the only one who really knows, and if He did create the universe through evolution, He would have told us; but He didn't. Also, the Genesis account of the different stages of creation totally differs from the evolutionary account. For instance, the earth was first created as a cold sphere totally surrounded by water, three days before the sun and stars were created. By the 4th day, the earth was fully formed with plants and trees, before the rest of the universe was created. And the rest of the universe was created by God saying, "let it be", and was spread out and formed into galaxies, stars and planets all in one 24 hour day. Evolution tells us that man evolved from fish out of the primordial slime millions of years ago, and developed from ape to man over millions of years. Genesis says that man was instantly created on the 6th day of creation, and woman was created some time later from Adam's rib. Without a literal Genesis, we wouldn't have a seven day week, or marriage between man and woman, nor would we have names for the animals because Adam named them. That is significant, because evolution says that early man was small-brained and less intelligent, but the Bible says that Adam was intelligent and was able to give names for all the animals and creatures that he saw. Also, early man had a system of handwriting, farming, and tools. Adam and Eve were gardeners, and Cain and Abel were farmers. Musical instruments were known from the earliest man. Without a literal Genesis, we wouldn't have a fall, sin and death, and the need for a Saviour. That would mean that the gospel of Christ, including His death on the cross would have no meaning, and Christianity would be no more than just a system of religious self improvement, no different from the pagan religions of the world.

Evolution is not fact. It is the unborn idea of Darwin as a young man (as he himself said), which he rejected later in life. Atheists took it up to come up with their dreamed up ideas to try and keep the God of the Bible out of the picture.

We know, through careful study, research and reading, that YE is truth, and that Genesis is literal history, and Noah's flood really did happen. All these are foundational to the true gospel of Christ. We can post our information in our own words without having to cut and paste evolutionist jibber jabber in red text to try and prove something we don't have to prove at all. God said it, and we believe it, period. If our critics want to believe a lot of evolutionist malarkey, dreamed up after something they smoked, then that is up to them, and one day they will have to give an account for it at the judgment, especially when they have taught it to others, producing multitudes of atheists and agnostics through their false teaching. But as for me and my house, we believe the book of Genesis as literally history and that's that!

In the rock layers of the Grand Canyon, when we move down below the top erosion layer, we see a layer in which there are the fossil records, many fish fossils show instant death in the middle of feeding on smaller fish, rather than the fish dying of natural causes. When we go below that layer, we see a dense clay layer which shows deposit caused by a serious flood. This same flood layer has been discovered in rock formations in Ireland, and in the Middle East, and in other places where similar rock layers have been found with a fossil layer above the dense clay layer. Underneath the clay layer, there is nothing right down to the lowest layer which is the base layer that was there when the world was originally created. It is significant that there are no fossils of any kind below the dense clay layer. If fish, sea life and animals existed millions of years before Noah's flood, we should see further fossil remains of millions of creatures plus human and part-human bones. but we don't see them because they were never there. Therefore, the fossil layer above the dense clay layer is the total record of all the sea and animal life that existed at the time of the Flood, and were washed by the Flood all over the globe, hence being found near the top of Mt Everest and the Andes mountains. This also suggests that Mt Everest and the Andes mountains did not exist before the Flood, but were thrust upward by the powerful and cataclysmic forces produced by the Flood.

I'm really enjoying your posts, and they go along with the Ken Ham books I am currently reading, which makes a lot of sense. I wish I had known all this in the 1970s when I was sharing the gospel with atheists as part our our coffee bar ministry.
-
No. The only stuff you can show me is evolutionary jibber jabber.
-
"We all" didn't get it. The Bible-believing genuinely converted Christians, including me, didn't get it at all! Just like my dearly departed mother who used to sit in her sitting room in our small home town saying "everyone in our town believes (whatever)", when the only person who did actually believe it was herself.

The evolutionists have done that because they choose to dream up what they think Genesis means for them so they can escape their moral responsibility to God. What Creationists have done is just accept what Genesis literally says.

There is a theory that in the foreseeable future with the continued decay of genetic information, human life will eventually become extinct, because there will be insufficient genetic information for the last generation of humans to be able to produce offspring that will survive.

The belief in evolution is a matter of the will. They understand exactly that the evidence more thoroughly proves a young earth and Noah's flood, but they choose not to believe it. It is an act of the will with them, not a lack of understanding. We can produce all the evidence that is available, and they will deny it because they are totally committed in their will that evolution is what they believe. Of course, it is more convenient to believe in evolution and the non-existence of the God of the Bible, because they are unwilling to accept that they have a moral responsibility to God in the way they live their lives. With evolutionists there is always favourite sins they don't want to give up, and therefore deny that God exists. It they are professing Christians, then they want to have a belief in a god and a jesus (neither of the Bible) and continue in their favourite sins as well. These are the ones who will say that their god is a god of love who will accept them along with their sinfulness, not being prepared to accept that the God of the Bible is also a God of justice who will judge us all on the basis of our compliance with the Ten Commandments. The evolutionist jesus is a someone who will help them to being better human beings, instead of the Jesus of the Bible who died on the cross to finish God's plan of salvation, taking the penalty for our sinfulness upon Himself. Genuine converts to the Jesus of the Bible will be found guilty at the judgment, but because Jesus has taken their penalty for it upon Himself, God's case against them will be dismissed. But the evolutionist jesus, being a mental image, will condemn those who follow him because they will be adding idolatry to their other sins.

I have the book, and it made very interesting reading.

God created the law of Physics, and that makes Him greater. So to try and fit God into the law of physics is to try and fit the all-powerful, almighty God into His own creation. I think that to say God is the law of physics is a kind of Pantheism which many atheistic evolutionists hold -that God is everything in the universe. So, we cannot find God through Physics, in the same way that we cannot identify who made the computer I am working on by the computer itself. We need to look elsewhere by researching the brand of computer, and who first designed it. In the same way, we have to approach God more directly, and the only way we can do that is to consult the written record that He gave to 66 authors about Himself. As Jesus said, we need to believe Moses and the Prophets, (the written Scriptures) to show that God is really there and He is a communicating God. All we can know through Physics is how the universe works, but we cannot identify the creator through Physics.

Even when I show you absolute Scripture proof that death came through Adam and not before, you will choose not to accept it. You are believing what you want to believe and all you seem to want to do is to argue against what anyone says to the contrary. So, I will put it to you straight. The Jesus you are trusting in is not the Jesus of the Bible. It is another Jesus dreamed up in your own head. I don't have to prove anything to do. If you choose not believe what I am saying to you, then you will find out on the day of judgment whether you really are following the Jesus of the Bible or not, and if you find out to your surprise and horror that you weren't there will be no one to blame but yourself.

"Unless You Prove Bible Right I Stay Non-Believer"?
Paul James replied to thomas t's topic in Defense of the Gospel
When you learn that the Bible is all about God's plan of salvation through Jesus Christ, then a lot of the complexity of the Bible dissolves. We see how God worked with mankind through the ages to get His chosen people into their Promised Land, and how those people became unfaithful to God and lost their inheritance. We see through the prophetic books the great effort that God made to try and get His people to remain faithful to Him, and His warnings about what will happen if they don't. We also see how God dealt with pagan nations that rejected Him, but what happened when a nation did turn to Him, as did Nineveh through the preaching of Jonah. We see through the gospels how Jesus came into the world, and died on the cross for our sinfulness. We then see the development of the early church; and instructions for Christian doctrine and practice through the Apostles' letters. -
He was talking about his natural experiences, as apart from his spirit. To say it is some kind of sickness or disease in Paul is just dreaming stuff up there is no there.

You must have a very small and powerless God who can't create a separate light source other than the sun. According to Genesis, the world was fully formed with land and oceans, plants and trees, before the sun, moon and stars were created. It was only after the sun was created and lit up that it became the earth's light source from then on. As I keep saying, unless Genesis is literal history, then the rest of the Bible loses its meaning, and the gospel of Christ is undermined. Jesus viewed Genesis as literal history and quoted often from it. So even if a person says that they are trusting in Jesus, then it may not be the Jesus of the Bible.

"Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned" (Romans 5:12) "Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the way that Adam transgressed. He is a pattern of the One to come" (Romans 5:14).

I liked most of your post, except when you talked about the Gap Theory. This was a theory that was dreamed up to refute atheistic evolution, by a contemporary of Darwin. But it contradicts the Bible when it says that the world was formed before the universe, and it was cool, not formed from a molten ball of superheated gas. Also the verse says that the earth 'was without form and void" not "became without form, etc.", discounting any idea that there were any cataclysmic events before the formation of the earth. The rest of the universe was created on the 4th day, after the earth was completed and planted with trees and plants. And it was created and spread out and the light of the stars shot to the earth in one day. There was no big bang at all. God created it all from nothing by just saying, "Let it be". Just in case you have forgotten, God can do that without even raising a sweat! Also, to be consistent with the rest of the Old Testament, the word for "day" when accompanied with a number, "morning" or "evening" means a 24 hour day. Read through the Old testament and see for yourself. So in creation where it talked about "morning" and "evening" connected with "yom" then it had to be 24 hour days to be consistent with every other Old Testament reference to 24 hour days. Where "day" meant someone not so specific, the word "yom" was not accompanied with a number, "evening" or "morning". Such as, "the day of the Lord", or "Abraham rejoiced to see My day", or "the day of judgment". So, there is no confusion about Creationism being what the Bible literally says about how God created the universe and our world.

If you are believing in theistic evolution as a way that God created the earth, you are believing in an atheistic lie dreamed up by 19th Century atheist evolutionists. You misquoted me (deliberately?) to say I said that sin did not originate with Adam and Eve. What I did say was that theistic evolutionist liars said that. If you don't believe that physical death did not originate from Adam and Eve, and Jesus said it did, then you are saying that the Jesus of the Bible is a liar, and that the Jesus you are trusting in for your salvation is another Jesus. Well, Satan is an expert at impressions, and he can conjure up a Jesus in your mind that is just an image that conforms to your personal beliefs, instead of the real Jesus of the Bible who accepts the whole of Genesis as literal history from start to finish.
